Upcoming opportunities, and involvement with the Kane Garden Club
The Kane Garden Club, anticipating its centennial anniversary in September, is gearing up for a series of events, including the upcoming Hanging Basket event on April 20th. But before that, you can mark your calendars for Bob Barron's appearance at the club's next meeting on April 18 at the Friends' Memorial Public Library. The meeting kicks off at 6 p.m., and Barron will delve into essential topics revolving around hanging baskets.
Barron's discussion will cover pivotal points such as where to strategically place your hanging baskets and the myriad uses they offer. He'll provide insights on nurturing these baskets, including proper care and fertilization techniques, ensuring your plants thrive. Moreover, Barron will tackle the critical aspect of plant selection, considering factors like sun exposure and shade to optimize plant happiness.
Emphasizing the significance of a plant's well-being, Barron will underscore how a happy plant contributes to overall aesthetic appeal and longevity. He'll delve into the practicalities of choosing plants not just for their visual appeal but also for their suitability to their environment, increasing the chances of their survival and flourishing.
For those eager to delve deeper into Barron's expertise, he's
hosting two sessions at his greenhouse on Birch Street. The morning session begins at 10 a.m., followed by an afternoon session at 1 p.m., with reserved seating available. Barron plans to nurture the hanging baskets until the threat of frost dissipates, ensuring they're primed for pickup, likely in May.
Even if you're unable to attend the event, the knowledge shared by Barron at the meeting is invaluable. So whether you're a seasoned gardener or just starting, you may not want to miss out on this opportunity to glean insights from a horticultural
expert.
